01 - 1 prepared pizza dough, 12-inch round

→ Sauce

02 - 1 cup Alfredo sauce

→ Toppings

03 - 1.5 cups cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded
04 - 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

07 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
08 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Seasonings

09 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

# Method:

01 - Preheat the oven to 475°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating.
02 - Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch round. Transfer to a greased baking sheet or pizza peel dusted with cornmeal.
03 - Brush the dough with olive oil. Spread the Alfredo sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a 1/2-inch border for the crust.
04 - Evenly scatter the cooked chicken over the sauce. Sprinkle with garlic powder and black pepper.
05 - Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by Parmesan cheese. Add red onion if desired.
06 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
07 - Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, slice, and serve hot.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It brings together pizza night and comfort food cravings in one glorious, cheesy bite.
  • You can have it on the table in 35 minutes, making it perfect for those nights when takeout feels too slow.
  • The creamy Alfredo base is a welcome break from the usual tomato sauce routine.
  • Leftover rotisserie chicken makes this practically effortless on a weeknight.
02 -
  • If your crust is coming out soggy, you're likely using too much sauce or your oven isn't hot enough, less is more with Alfredo.
  • Preheating a pizza stone makes an enormous difference in crust texture, I didn't believe it until I tried it myself.
  • Let your dough come to room temperature before rolling, cold dough shrinks back and fights you the whole way.
03 -
  • Use a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal to slide your pizza onto a hot stone without sticking, it's a game changer.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Alfredo sauce for a subtle kick that cuts through the richness.
  • Let the pizza rest for two minutes after baking so the cheese sets slightly, it makes slicing so much cleaner.
